Chapter 447 The Struggling Xu Fuqing Has Results in the Ring

Xu Youliang, 50 years old, the deputy secretary of Honglu Temple, the fourth rank of the Tang Dynasty, is the second most senior official in Honglu Temple after Tang Jian. Because he is proficient in multiple languages, Tang Jian relied heavily on him as his right-hand man. He was assigned to receive envoys from various countries. After all, he is proficient in many countries There are not many people who are capable of language, and it is because of this that Bai Fan got acquainted with this person.

Originally, through the relationship between Tang Jian and Bai Fan, Xu Youliang could be considered to have a relationship with the big tree of Bai Fan, but he made a wrong step. In the face of huge benefits, Xu Youliang chose to give in.

Tang Jian, the boss of Honglu Temple, has always disliked foreigners, so he would not personally receive foreigners. Even when he is an envoy to other countries, he is also known overseas. In Honglu Temple led by such a boss, there are basically no officials who are close to foreigners.

But as the saying goes, there is no immovable wall, only insufficient benefits. In order to enter the Zhongnan Academy, Goguryeo took out two boxes of gold and two boxes of jewelry, and promised to give two boxes after it was done.

Xu Youliang's eyes were dazzled, and he had to admit that he would never be able to obtain these things in his lifetime. He could tell that they were deducted from Goguryeo's tribute to the Tang Emperor, but if it wasn't for this opportunity, he could only watch it with his own eyes. with.So, at the critical moment, he was shaken!

Being smart, he thought that sending someone there would not be a big deal. Firstly, this foreigner is not so easy to be found. Second, Zhongnan College did not say that it would not accept foreigners, so even if he was rejected , I also have reasons and retreats.

But when he saw Yuan Gaimao whose hands and feet had been broken, Xu Youliang knew it was over. This person angered Bai Fan, the murderous god. I'm afraid it's over.

No, you can't sit still!Xu Youliang thought in his heart, learned a lot from the envoys of Goguryeo, since he has offended Bai Fan, then he can only give it a go, Bai Fan said that the academy would not accept a foreign race, this is discrimination against foreign races ?Then you can only use other countries to fight against Bai Fan. As long as you refute him in this matter, you will be safe.

In Honglu Temple, the Western Turkic envoys were stationed here all the year round, and the Gaochang envoys who had come to discuss cotton matters hadn't left yet, so Xu Youliang's family went to find them.

"Do you know Datang Zhongnan Academy?"

"Of course, I heard that it was established by Hou Baifan, Lantian of the Tang Dynasty, and there were many talents in it. The students of Zhongnan Academy were among the students who contributed to Jieli's destruction." The Western Turkic envoy nodded. A kind of worship, the Western Turks were suppressed by the Eastern Turks Xieli for many years, and the Tang Dynasty was able to destroy Xieli, obviously the strongest among the strong.

"Then Zhongnan Academy is recruiting students, do you know?" Xu Youliang asked.

"Of course, I heard that there must be many people who want to sign up for such an excellent learning place. I heard that the Goguryeo envoy next to it sent a young man."

When we finally got to the point, Xu Youliang's complexion changed, and he snorted coldly: "Hmph, when it comes to this matter, I have to remind the envoy.

Na Baifan claimed that the academy only accepts people from the Tang Dynasty, not any foreigners, so he beat the Goguryeo envoys into cripples in a fit of anger! "

"Ah? How did this happen? Even if you don't allow registration, you won't be able to beat people. If you make them crippled, isn't this Marquis too cruel?" the Western Turkic envoy exclaimed.

"Hey! Who's to say no, Bai Fan is the most murderous person, but his attitude is too rude. The academy opened its doors to accept apprentices, why didn't it accept students from other races? Could it be that he looked down on students from other countries?"

Xu Youliang deliberately bewitched, but the Western Turkic envoy thought about it, and said: "This is normal, I have never heard of anyone studying abroad, the academy established by the Marquis of Lantian, who they want to accept as students, seems to be their preference, right? , nothing wrong with that, about the Goguryeo matter, I speculate that maybe that arrogant son offended the noble Lan Tianhou of the Tang Dynasty, after all, he is a big shot."

……

Xu Youliang was speechless, did he come here by mistake, who is not good to look for, seems to be looking for a fan of Bai Fan?

"No, you can't think like this. Although the academy was established by Bai Fan, but the teacher was taken away from the Imperial College of the Tang Dynasty by him, then the academy belongs to the academy of the country. For the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries, he can't beat the disabled. Envoys.

Besides, the academy is a holy place to study. Just imagine, if the prince of your country can study in the academy for a few years, will he be able to become a peerless talent after finishing his studies?Look at the vanguard army that wiped out Xieli, they were all young academy students.

Western Turkic culture and etiquette are all learning from Datang, and Zhongnan Academy is the first academy in Datang. In view of the relationship between our two countries, it is definitely a great thing for the diplomatic relations between the two countries that you let the prince come here to study. In the future, the prince will learn something If you are successful, you can go back to better benefit the country, right? "

In this way, the Western Turkic envoy was really fooled, "That's right, what a good idea, Master Xu is really our friend, how about this, I heard from your subordinates that the small country of Goguryeo gave you a few boxes of gold, we Western Turkic Don't be rude, I will give you five boxes of gems from the Western Regions, and there will be another five boxes after the matter is completed.

I will send someone to discuss with Da Khan, hahahaha, if our prince learns to become a great hero, that would be a great thing. "

Why did the Western Turkic envoy laugh so triumphantly that Xu Youliang didn't pay attention? At this moment, he was full of puzzlement. He turned around and asked his confidants in a low voice: "How did they know about the gold gift from Goguryeo?"

"This, my subordinates didn't let anyone find out, but no one mentioned this matter before, but it is known today, it seems that it was said by the Goguryeo people.

Judging from the words of the Western Turkic envoys, it is estimated that everyone in the Honglu eunuch knows about it. "

... Xu Youliang felt that he was cold, and ten thousand alpacas roared past in his heart. They are cheating Goguryeo people, shameless Goguryeo people.

I have to eat the bitter fruit I have brewed, and I will eat it with tears. I will continue to visit the Gaochang envoys, and then send my confidantes to pass on these words to other countries around me, Huihe, Khitan, Mohe, Baekje, Tuyuhun, Tubo Waiting for the country, the heart is ruthless, even if he is hacked to death by the emperor, he will give them a knife in the back.

In the palace, Li Er asked the servant Gao Gao: "I heard there is news from Zhongnan Academy?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, after three days of competition in the arena, the Academy finally selected seven winners, who were accepted as personal disciples by Lantian Hou on the spot. In addition, Wang Bowen, the young patriarch of the Wang family in Taiyuan, did not win, but was also accepted by the Hou. The Lord liked it and won the approval of the people, allowing him to enroll in school."

Li Er nodded, "Well, eight people were selected in three days. This Zhongnan Academy is indeed strict. I heard that the queen also went? Who did she recommend?"

The elder brother wondered: "This, this, the spies came to report that it was the little lady of the Zheng family!"

Li Er didn't seem to hear clearly, "Who? The Zheng family? Which Zheng family?"

"Yes, it's Mrs. Zheng Liwan! And I heard that she passed the competition and was accepted as a disciple by Master Hou."

"What?" Li Er exclaimed and got up.

"Come here, hurry up and tell Bai Fan to enter the palace!"
